I worked with Kristin of Impact PT to treat a case of plantar fasciitis which had been lingering for more than a month. Kristin was very professional and personable. She explained the physiology of the injury to me and details of the treatment. Although I am not completely healed yet, I am making good progress and feel that the treatment has helped.

Everyone’s really friendly and supportive here! You really feel like they’re on your team and that they want to support your recovery through your successes and speed bumps. It feels more like hanging out with friends who are helping you with your physical therapy. They’re experts in what they do and any wait time is very minimal.

This place has helped me recover from an ankle injury. It’s both motivated me while in the clinic while also equipping me outside of the clinic with exercise recommendations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for physical therapy in the south loop.

I have had a couple of running related injuries over the years. When I have gone in, they do a thorough assessment and get straight to work on making me function well quickly. They are professional, creative, results-oriented, and are about solving for the problem(s) at hand. Their staff is trained and supervised well and overall very pleasant. The rates are reasonable. They are always on time in seeing me. Overall, a very good value and I highly recommend Impact.

I’ve seen both Shannon and Kristen at Impact and worked with the other practitioners there during my exercises. It’s an extremely friendly environment and they’re very understanding about what you can and can’t do depending on your injury/pain. They give you different exercises to try so it doesn’t get too repetitive, and the massage/body work portion of the appointment is really nice. I’ve never seen a physical therapist that worked so much on me – helping me stretch, pushing joints into place, etc, than at Impact. Often times I would go and they would maybe massage for 5 minutes before sending me to do exercises. I absolutely recommend Impact!!

Overall, my experience at Impact has been very positive. The therapists, including Shannon, Kristin and Liz, are all knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The assisting staff are also friendly and helpful. The South Loop site feels clean and safe with the Covid precautions they have in place. I would highly recommend their physical therapy services.

Best therapists in town– I have been seeing Liz for about five years for different injuries. I am an endurance athlete and it takes a village to keep doing what I love. I am happy that Liz and Impact Physical Therapy is part of my team.

My family and I have been treated by impact physical therapy for years. All of the therapist are good and attentive especially the therapist we usually see, Liz Yerly. She is knowledgeable and is open and flexible to try multiple treatments to address your needs. I have to travel to be treated by her. But I don’t mind because I have complete confidence in her ability to provide and suggest treatments to address my needs

Jeffrey V.

I have had the opportunity to use Liz and most of the staff during my period of physical therapy and say they are the best. They are warm, friendly, attentive, professional and most of all interested in your needs and your thoughts concerning how the therapy is working for you. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I love it here! I usually see Shannon, but everyone is very nice and helpful also. Especially Sue! I started therapy for a shoulder injury in late September/early October (can’t remember) and my shoulder pain and movement has gotten better since. I also get a great workout every time I go which I love. If you’re looking to start PT this is the place to be.

I have received fantastic care at Impact. I’ve seen Liz for years because she is amazing and always new things for me to try so that my body and I can work better as a team. She’s help me get back in my feet after injuries, maintain a healthy body, and I am confident that I have far fewer injuries because I do what she says. I don’t like going to doctors, but I love going to Impact. They take the time to get to know you and they want to help you meet your fitness goals.

I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy. I have been treated for several different issues at Impact, including knee, hip, hamstring and shoulder. Impact is a great PT place for athletes and active people–I am a highly active person in my late 20s, and the Impact South Loop physical therapists have all been supportive in helping me reach my ideal level of physical activity; when I told them I wanted to mitigate my pain enough to be able to run, they continually worked with me to reach that goal and never suggested that I give it up.I have worked predominately with Liz Yearly, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist. Liz is proficient in a variety of techniques and draws on these to create an individualized treatment plan. The South Loop physical therapists have a great team dynamic–they will consult with each other on your case to get each others’ opinion and draw on each other’s strengths to create a strong treatment plan for you.All the staff members at Impact South Loop are friendly, personable and professional. Questions about insurance or scheduling are always responded to promptly. The location has a friendly, communal atmosphere that makes physical therapy an enjoyable experience.

Shannon Antwerp is one of the best physical therapists in Chicago. She does amazing work with dry needling. Since starting physical therapy, I’ve experienced relief in my neck/shoulders/right arm all of which have been impacted by various accidents over the years. Thanks to Shannon and the folks at Impact Physical Therapy, I’m doing a lot better!

Came here seeking treatment for long-term, nagging hamstring pain that had not been fixed by a variety of treatments tried by a previous doc and a previous PT. Kara Mathys re-assessed me, ran me through some great strengthening exercises and localized treatment (dry needling and scraping), and when that didn’t work, kept at it to figure out the problem was in my back, not at the site. She stretched me out to improve back mobility, and I’m finally healed. Thoughtful approach, great attitude, listens well, fun to work with. Thanks, Kara!

I love Impact Physical Therapy. This is my second visit to this facility and both times I have had Shayne as my therapist. Shayne is great – no she is fantastic. I had a total knee replacement in January and I was able to recover quickly because I did presurgery therapy with her. I am now back with a dislocated shoulder and am feeling better with each sessionBe sure to check this place out. They have great equipment and everyone is extremely professional

Eric is an amazing physical therapist and a great guy. I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I’ve been going to Impact 3 times a week since June of 2020. I hobbled in to Impact due to a painful heel spur. Although polite, Eric knows how to use constructive criticism, and he’s able to be stern to help me push myself. Eric is very hard working, and he caters to all of his patients. These days, I am feeling so much better, I had almost forgotten how nice it is to be able to walk pain free. My whole core is much stronger and I have lost weight. I was also able to avoid surgery to remove the heel spur, as an alternate method proved extremely helpful. I would very highly recommend Eric and Impact Physical Therapy for any and all physical therapy needs!

Paul Thomas is an exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, warm, kind, Physical Therapist. Although he is one of the top in the field in Chicago, he is also extraordinarily humble. He makes you feel comfortable right away, and describes his assessment in ways you are able to understand. I have had PT my entire life, in many different countries, and Paul tis the best I have met! The rest of the team that works with Paul is also fantastic! You will be in the best hands if you schedule with Paul or others on his team!

This Iocation is very nice and all the staff are friendly and courteous. I’ve been seeing Paul, intermittently, for various physical therapy treatments for almost 8 years. I trust his expertise more than some doctors and will typically come to him for an evaluation before seeing a doctor. He also introduced me to dry needling and although it’s not always fun to receive as a patient, it works wonders and is worth it. I highly recommend Paul and Impact.

I went to Impact Physical Therapy to rehab after foot surgery (Achilles). They were very professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel very comfortable. I liked the one-on-one nature of the treatment. The therapy was a success as I was back to playing tennis at full strength afterwards. Would DEFINITELY recommend them, and plan on consulting with them again for any future injury.

Paul Thomas is a miracle worker. I’ve run several Ultra Marathons (57 miles, 64 miles and 100 miles distances) and he puts me all back together. The guy is a wizard in dry needling. Incredibly smart and gracious. This is the person to go to if you are an athlete that is looking for sound views on what is going on with your body. He works in the Lakeview location on Lincoln and Paulina.

They have helped me get back to activities I love to do. I highly recommend Impact Phisical Therapy Lakeview!

Paul Thomas is professional, highly educated and most importantly made me feel hopeful that my condition would improve with therapy, while being very realistic about expectations. I had seen other PT providers for the same issue and the difference in terms of approach, knowledge of the condition and impact of therapy were vastly different. I would highly recommend Paul Thomas.

I’ve been seeing Lauren for a little over a year now. First to prep for upcoming hip surgery and to relieve the pain associated with it. Then, after the surgery, I kept up with Lauren to rebuild my strength and get back to the activities I love doing. Lauren has gone above and beyond for me. I am back to running and jumping and moving and grooving like I wasn’t sure I would be able to! I love her kindness, patience, attentiveness, and client-oriented mindset. I 100% recommend her service services to anyone in need of a professional PT!

I was brought to impact physical therapy after working with traditional physical therapists at Rush. I am an athlete and some of the techniques that are traditionally used are too gentle for somebody with athletic abilities. My therapist it is kind, but she really works the muscles that need to be worked and for the first time I feel like there is a change in my back. If you are looking for a physical therapy experience where you are going to get results, I would recommend coming here. I will probably need one more surgery and I have already decided that I will do my post surgical recovery work at impact. They are the right combination of tough and caring.

Long overdue review. Lauren worked with me for 2 months last fall to help resolve my tennis elbow pain. She provided excellent care including deep tissue release, scraping, and ultrasound, as well as exercises to strengthen the muscles around the joint. Appointments are easy to schedule with desk staff, facilities are clean and well-maintained, and overall they provide a very comfortable environment for PT.

My husband recommended his physical therapist Lauren and I am happy he did. I’ve been in 3 times (in one week b/c my ankle sprain has been pretty painful) and I already feel so much better!! Don’t delay like I did, just call and they’ll pencil you in!!

Right in my backyard, there is a physical therapy center, which has provided me with respite from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, as well as seasonal injuries, like “falling on both knees”. I only need to drive a few blocks, to receive help. Having RA does not end; RA needs frequent sessions of care, whether weeks or months. This is the place that provides support and care in tolerating a chronic illness. I’m grateful for the long-term care provided by Impact Therapy, given by Leo, Rachel, Magda, and Trish.

I haven’t been for therapy in a couple of years (that I thankful for) for. I started with Leo when he was at Athletico Therapy. He opened up Impact just in time when I needed some therapy for my back. The friendliest and the excellent therapy I received helped the pain melt away. So the conclusion is I would recommend Impact Therapy to anyone who want to feel better and release the pain.

However, none of them helped me even half as much as Leo and his team did. Leo was the only one able to cure my pain and make my body work properly again. Additionally, he is very nice and super easy to talk to and work with. He is an extremely knowledge and gifted therapist who’s a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this business even if you need to travel far for it. You’ll get the best service and treatment here.

Impact Physical Therapy is a phenomenal world class physical therapy resource for the Western Suburbs. The Hinsdale location is very convenient, immaculate, spacious and atypical for a Physical Therapy office. Tim Rylander is the best at what he does (I get the sense he knows as much or more than some of the doctors out there).. I strongly recommend Impact for any physical Therapy needs.

I have been going to Impact since 2019. They have great staff, great communication, comfortable atmosphere, and knowledgeable. For my mild injuries, I go for tune-ups and I am usually better in a couple of days. For larger injuries, I had a herniated disc where I had weakness in my left arm. After going consistently to Bill, my strength in my left arm is back, and no pain. I am so glad I didn’t have to go any further to get any kind of procedures done. They have great communications and recommendations for doctors. You will not be disappointed!

I had several knee procedures, including a spacer and a TKR. The scar tissue buildup was significant. I chose Impact because of a prior very positive experience with Kamila. I worked primarily with Chris and was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic. He has a great understanding of when and how to push you further to meet your goals. He and Kamila worked with me to progress far enough that I wouldn’t need a probable manipulation, eventually getting the ROM to 120 degrees, which seemed out of reach at the outset.I was also very impressed with the positive atmosphere and the camaraderie of the entire staff. The therapists and their support team work well together. I would recommend the Hinsdale location to anyone who is looking for a professional environment and a high quality team to help you reach your rehabilitation goals.

Chris was able to pin point the problem and after my first session, I was doing 75% better. After my 3rd session I was problem free. Thank you Chris and Impact Physical Therapy. Also I went here during covid season, the facility is clean and faculty is very diligent about cleaning and wiping everything after every session. I felt safe and comfortable going here. It was not crowded and tons of distance between folks.

I came to Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale after working with a few other local physical therapists who not only didn’t help but made me re-injure myself by giving me bad advice and advising me to do exercises that are harmful for your back. I felt helpless. The other “physical therapists” pushed injections and pain medications from the beginning instead of taking the time to actually evaluate me and help me build up my strength to heal and prevent re-injury. Chris is very knowledgeable and extremely caring and calm. I cannot emphasize how important that demeanor is when you are in excruciating pain and desperate for help. Some people gave me life altering diagnoses saying I would be in pain forever and that I would never heal. Chris quickly dismissed this and gave me the confidence I needed to believe I could heal. After a few months I am back to myself again. I have the tools I need to continue to strengthen my body. I truly hope I never have to see Chris again but if I do I know where to find him.

I was referred by Dr. Ali, my neurologist to have physical therapy to improve my motor skills as I was diagnosed with early onset of PD. In addition, my orthopedic doctor, Dr. Ivy suggested for me to have phyiscal therapy as well. I was a little skeptical to do it since I have been going for PT for 3 years and did not make any difference in my movement. However this time, Dr. Ali said try IMPACT down the street, it’s private. They check coverage of your insurance. I made my appointment and presesented the referral of neuro and ortho doctors. I was assigned to Chris, my therapist. Chris interviewed me during the first meeting to assess my condition and went over treatment plan and activities. I told myself “this is different from my previous PT sessions at DuPage Medical Group.” The sessions were pretty much structured; warm up, activities using different equipment and stretching. My warm up turned out to be as important as the actual activity to address the tightness of my joints. Chris is cognizant of my safety as I work on the equipment. The facility is busy. Patients range from school age children, high schoolers and adults. The staff are warm and pleasant. Each has a patient to attend to. Equipments are sanitized after use. Over time, I have seen big improvement in my movement, balance and coordination. I have since talked about IMPACT with my friends who at some point in their life have had to go for physical therapy. I pray that my insurance benefits continue to cover PT with IMPACT. Going to IMPACT became a routine for me to get well. Thank you Chris and IMPACT.

I’ve been to impact for rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders back to back followed by current separated shoulder injury. They have a very well run clean physical therapy business. All the therapists are great and they have great interns helping with all of the exercises. I’ve only seen Tim and Kamilla who I like a lot but other therapists seem great because I’ve watched them work on other patients and it seems to me that they work hard. Anyway, it’s a great place

I have been going to Impact Physical Therapy on and off for over 2 years. As a triathlete, I appreciate that I have been able to schedule an appointment quickly with Tim or Jimmy. They have been able to evaluate and treat my injuries before they progressed and therefore, I haven’t had to miss much training. Both have incredible knowledge. They work out the problem (using Graston techniques, etc.) and provide me with exercises to do at home. My daughters have also benefited from Impact’s services, as well as many friends I have referred. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and determination to help heal all injuries.

I have been suffering with herniated disc for 30 years. I was trying to solve my problem with lots of specialist over 30 years. (orthopedists, chiropractors, physiotherapist). Nobody was able to help me. I found out what was wrong with my body 9 weeks ago for the first time. The attack 9 weeks ago was very painful. I felt like something wanted to tear my leg’s muscles. I couldn’t hold urine. I couldn’t dress up and take off cloths by myself. I was going through the hell on the earth. Years of asking for help without an answer made me distrustful. I wanted to go to see somebody but somebody who knows what to do. I decided I will go from physiotherapist to physiotherapist until I find the right one. I was ready to fly to California where my trainer lives, who is a physiotherapist as well.Impact in Hinsdale was the first one I asked for help. I came to office in good condition, but at the point I couldn’t help myself anymore. I couldn’t stretch muscles anymore by myself. I needed manual therapy. I received exactly what I needed. Chris H. saved my life. I hope I will never need him anymore. But if so, I will find him again.

My experience at impact was very positive. I truely believe my goals will be meant. At this point I would give them a 5 star rating and see no reason why this shouldn’t continue to be the norm.😀

There are not enough stars to rate my experience at Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale! The environment and atmosphere at Impact are so welcoming and comfortable as soon as you walk through the door! I was always treated with kindness and compassion by everyone in the office – even the therapists who were not directly working with me. My physical therapist, Dr. Tim Rylander, is a top expert in the field of concussion recovery and I was so fortunate to be able to work with him! HIs expertise, professionalism and genuine care for me as a patient were evident from very early in my treatment plan. His sessions were well planned out and challenged me in the needed areas. He worked with me and believed I would reach my goal of returning to the career I loved when many others thought it wasn’t possible! He was always so positive and encouraging! I know I would not be where I am today without him! Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale is truly a special place!

This is my second experience with physical therapy. My first experience was at one of the major physical therapy groups in the Chicago land area. I was recommended to a specific therapist Tim Rylander whom helped me successfully recover from a couple of sports injuries and I would highly recommend him. After struggling with my current injury, my trainer recommended that I meet with mpact Physical therapy due to his success with them. I had rememered Tim but I decided to give them a shot because they happened to be more conveniently located. When I walked in for my first appointment, I recognized Tim and can’t tell you how releved and happy I was to see him especially because he is the mansgima partner. Although my initial consultation was not with Tim but with another therapist, Chris Harter. I can’t tell you what a great experience I am having with Chris, the facility and the staff. Chris is a graduate of northwestern and embodies the sensitivity and touch anyone would want while recovering from any injury. The space is modern and inviting with tons of glass and the support staff are super friendly and helpful. It does not feel like a typical “medical” environment. Their unique recovery room offers some of the latest innovations for athletes and anyone looking for assisting with injury or sore muscle recovery. I would highly recommend both Tim and Chris and really any of the therapist at this facility.

When my neurosurgeon suggested physical therapy instead of a fourth back surgery I was lucky enough to find Impact Physical Therapy. Their knowledge, professionalism, patient focus, communication skills, state of the art equipment and realistic goals far surpassed any other physical therapy company that I’ve used since my first surgery 15 years ago. I strongly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

I had one other experience in physical therapy years ago, and I came away a skeptic. This summer I tore my pectoral muscle both in the muscle and from the bone. I needed surgery. I was also aware I would have to give physical therapy another shot. It is night and day from my last experience to this one. It’s still early in the process, but my therapist Courtney is great at her job. I don’t ever leave reviews, but I felt an obligation. Yes, she gets paid, but I get the sense that it’s more than that to her. Anyway, yeah all positive.

Impact Physical Therapy was suggested to me by my doctor’s physician assistant. I started therapy in January for weakness in my leg. I was assigned to Nikki. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist. She is knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. As a matter of fact, everyone I have interacted with at Impact have been welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If you are considering physical therapy, I highly recommend you consider Impact Physical Therapy.

I have done physical therapy several times, and I have never had such success as I have with Courtney. The staff is so friendly and supportive. I swore I would never be able to walk around the block 2 times or go up and down the stairs easily. I am now able to do this! I was getting therapy for the same injury for 8 months, and I have had more success in the last 2 weeks than I did there.

Impact Therapy was suggested by a friend in the business. The experience from start to finish was great. Their knowledge of insurance, and was a big help.

Impact Physical Therapy is a fantastic clinic to help recover from any injury. I have been to other local clinics for previous sports injuries and this has been the best experience of them all. Nicole has been great and is very knowledgeable, as is the rest of the staff who I have worked with. She listens to how I am feeling and can make adjustments to increase or decrease the difficulty. I am very happy that I decided to go to Impact and am back moving well before my doctor thought I would be.

I came to Impact right as the stay at home order in IL went into effect because I’d had shoulder pain for a year and a half. I met Nikki, who worked with me for 9 weeks to build my strength, stretch my muscles, and really get my rotator cuff issues in check. Mark worked tirelessly, cleaning off every weight, strap, every piece of equipment that I or other patients touched. I made great progress, and Impact and its employees are the reason why.I did not know that patients can go to Impact without a prescription from an MD! When I learned this, I encouraged my husband and son to go in and get evaluated, one for elbow pain and one for neck pain. They have just begun their visits with Nikki.If you have pain, don’t wait! Go for an evaluation and start building toward a pain free life. These folks know what they’re doing!

Hello everyone, I do pray these words can give you some comfort soon. I became a patient with Impact Physical Therapy because of Vertigo. I feel for anyone who has had to deal with Vertigo or even motion sickness. I had the opportunity to work with one of the Impact associates by the name of Nicole. This girl knows her skills and knows how to treat Vertigo. I had to see Nicole twice a week for a month because my positional Vertigo being an A typical rare case. You see my Vertigo began in March and continued for 3 months. I am so Grateful for Nicole and the whole Impact staff. I had a difficult start and all the staff was so accommodating to my needs and schedule. The staff has everything set up and are able to accommodate all different types of therapy that I didn’t know existed. The place has enough room to allow people to do what is needed to improve their quality of life in a very clean and healthy environment!!!Good Luck to you all I hope and pray you have the Best experience as I did. Mostly Thank you Nicole for being the caring and understanding person you are and for helping me get back to living again 😉♥️

I am a runner and injured my calf over and over. This last time I really did it. It was bruised all up and down. I could not walk up stairs. I went to impact and worked with Ashley Dunne. The therapy was hard at times but she got me healed and taught me exercises for home. I have been pain and injury free ever since. Plus she is very nice and makes the visits pleasant! Forever grateful!

My daughter really liked the program and care the staff gave her for a bad knee injury and then surgery recovery. That prompted me to see what they could do for neck trigger point clusters hoping that relief from those would take down a nasty tinnitus. They’ve given me significant relief and we’re now going for full relief. Love them all for their expertise, care, and thoughtful kindness.

Everyone at Impact is so incredibly knowledgeable and uplifting! They bring a combination of expertise, motivation and compassion to every appointment.

I believe all of this contributed greatly to my recovery from my C-section and old injuries from a car accident. Thank you to Gretchen and everyone at Impact!!!

I’ve been a patient at Impact off and on since 2017. The team there is great! Recently I needed PT for some rehab post cancer treatment. As my immune system was compromised, I needed a private room. They were very accommodating and the room was usually always ready for me to go in without waiting in the lobby. I would recommend this clinic for PT, you will get results!

Spent over 5 months with Tony Testin and the Champaign Team rehabbing my repaired rotator cuff. Hands on therapy and supervised exercises gave me the confidence and guidance with my home therapy program. In between sessions, Tony was available to answer questions. The facility is large enough to socially distance between clients and personnel. Parking and a bus stop are conveniently located a few steps from the door. I recommend Impact Therapy if you want to get back to participating in your favorite sports and fitness activities.

Recently I completed my rehab for total knee replacement surgery. I went to Impact Physical Therapy in Orland Park on a strong recommendation from a friend. My therapist, Bob, did a great job of coaching me through all the exercises needed to regain flexibility and strength. He carefully documented my progress and was a continual source of encouragement! I would highly recommend him as a physical therapist for anyone facing knee surgery.

Impact is exceptional. I have had multiple physical therapy sessions over the past several years, including 3 different sets in the past year for different issues. The other places did not compare to the level of care that I have recieved at Impact. They care about the patient, target each session and departing recommendations based on how the patient is doing that day, not just overall. Impact includes substantial hands-on therapy – I have never experienced that. The other physical therapy providers I used recently and in the past barely used hands-on assistance. I just completed my 4th session out of 12 and I have improved already. I am so thankful for their expertise and genuine care for my progress. Bob is my therapist and he’s fantastic.

I went to Impact in mid March 2020 to rehab from a meniscus knee surgery. The staff was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. I’m a very active person and they took the time to make sure they were crystal clear of my goals. Bob Griffin is the lead PT at Impact as he also manages this location. I can’t speak highly enough of the job Bob & his staff did as my knee is fully recovered thanks to Impact. They also provided me with the tools to remain healthy well after my rehab ended. In addition, I had rotator surgery approx. 10 years ago & that was when I was introduced to Bob. That was a very challenging & long rehab and I’m thrilled to report that 10 years later my surgical shoulder remains stronger than my non surgical shoulder. The common denominator on both very successful recoveries is Bob Griffin. If you want the absolute best PT with no shortcuts, go to Impact Physical Therapy in Orland Park, IL.

I can’t say enough about Tammy and the entire Impact Physical Therapy Team!I have known and been treated by Tammyfor years. Her knowledge and expertise in helping heal a broken body is surely appreciated by all who have had the good fortune of being under her care. In addition to her healing hands and amazing diagnostic abilities, Tammy is able to calm the anxiety which often plagues those in pain. Her positive attitude can be contagious and can be integral in healing. I will be having a hip replacement soon and knowing that I can count on Tammy with my post surgical therapy gives me peace of mind.I feel that the Orland location is more like family. From Lisa at the front desk and Bob who has also helped me in my quest to take care of this aging body, there is always a warm welcome and a feeling that Impact Physical Therapy truly cares about each and everyone who chooses them in their journey back to health.
